Sinead was up early before either of her parents the next day. She got herself sorted out and was happy to see Cliffjumper sitting outside waiting. Grabbing her new phone, quiver and back pack, quickly and quietly she headed out. "Hey, Cliff," She addressed him as he opened a door to let her in.
"Hey yourself. How was the event yesterday?"
"Boring."
He chuckled and they set off.
They arrived at base to see everyone standing around one of the monitors. "Ok, so you guys don't fly," Miko was saying. "But can't you just bridge there?"
"Miko, this is a ground bridge, therefore it's range is limited, and could result in us being scattered to the stars if anything went wrong." Ratchet explained.
"I'm afraid we must take the risk," Optimus announced. "As Megatron is more than likely all ready on his way, reaching the space bridge first is the only way to stop him."
"What's going on?" Sinead asked, causing everyone to turn towards her. Bumblebee's optics lit up the moment he saw her. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Miko.
"Where were you yesterday? You totally missed out."
"Why? What happened?"
Cliffjumper and Raf explained about Agent Fowler being abducted by cons, and the subsequent rescue, including Miko sneaking through the groundbridge and the events leading up to Jack walking away.
"Bulk and I did pay him a visit, but he wasn't interested." Miko put in.
Sinead frowned suddenly. There had been no mention of Optimus and Ratchet, so she turned to them, spotting the brace on Ratchet's arm. "Where were you two? What happened to Ratchet's arm?"
"We engaged an army of the undead. And we are preparing to depart to prevent more from coming to earth." Optimus explained, answering her original question whilst Ratchet just waved off her concern.
At that point, Arcee drove in with Jack. "Hey, guess who's back?" He announced as he dismounted and she transformed.
"Autobot, prepare for departure." Optimus ordered.
"What? Where to?"
"The final frontier." Miko replied.
"Space?" Jack looked over at his guardian. "Be seeing you?"
"Be careful, Bee." Raf told him.
"Oh, I am so jealous." Miko said to Bulkhead.
"Don't even think about following me." He responded sternly.
"Go careful, ok?" Sinead told Cliffjumper and Optimus. The former smirked whilst the latter nodded and gave a gentle smile.
"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet filled with humans, I'll never forgive you." Ratchet informed him.
"Until we meet again, old friend," Optimus said as he engaged his battlemask. "Autobots, roll out."
Sinead's pov
I couldn't help smiling. It was good to hear my brothers rallying shout again. I watched as all the bots except Ratchet transformed and drove through the groundbridge.
"Maximum overdrive. Autobots, transform and gravitize."
"I wish we could see what was happening," Raf spoke up.
I smiled. "Hey, at least we can hear what's going on."
"So, let me get this straight," We heard Arcee say. "Megatron's packing enough dark energon to raise Cybertron's dead?"
